And how's that working out so far? 🤔

I suppose it depends on whether you are on the side of those exploiting cheap foreign workers or those who don’t. We have all benefited in some way or another from the cheap Labour whether it’s cheap fruit or cheaper meals out.

Is it exploitation if they fully understand what they’re doing and for how much money? Given that it’s all lawful and legit?

When you asked earlier “where are the immigrants” that could be your answer.

From a capitalist or from a social democratic point of view? I get confused with the hypocrisy.

Ok.

I thought it was capitalism in its finest form and the epitome of free movement within the EU. That’s why I voted to remain.

Corbyn and others thought it was exploitation. No hypocrisy from me.

I know he’s not relevant now but interesting to look back at what the previous leader of the Labour Party thought about cheap Labour. It’s not a politically left or right issue.

As you rightly said, irrelevant.

Certain women will shag anything with a fat wallet. 

And blokes will just shag anything.

Some Tory on QT just said that the biggest driver of inflation was 'big public sector pay rises.'

A) public sector pay rises have run behind inflation for many years. 

B ) public sector pay rises are far less inflationary than private sector ones because public sector organisations can't jack up prices on the back of it. That's the view of most mainstream economists. 

 

Oh and Dale Vince is an attention seeker but not half as daft as your average Tory.

Hadnt read earlier posts, the Tory is Mercer. He's a bit simple. 

Just seen his name flash up just before Trafs post.
